Part of the book series: Developments in Hydrobiology ((DIHY,volume 1))

Abstract

1963: disagreements on lower metazoan phylogeny ‘Are phylogenetic theories subjective views? Can any man propose his own phylogeny or can we get definite scientific solutions?’ asked Remane (1963) in criticism of Hadzi’s (1944, 1953), Steinböck’s (1952, 1958, 1963) and Hanson’s theories (1958, 1963), stating that acoels turbellarians are derived from plasmodial ciliates and are the most primitive metazoa.
